How old is naturism really?

How old is naturism really?

We sometimes refer to the very beginnings of naturism to make a point in one of our blog posts. Most of the time, we’ll then tell you about a group of Germans who got tired of all those new factories in their city and wanted to start a more healthy way of living by exposing themselves completely to nature.   Whenever we tell this story, some people will refer to much more ancient times. To … Read more

How to find a great naturist campsite

How To Find a Great Naturist Campsite

Naturism and camping have been going hand in hand from the early beginning as they both emphasize a close and harmonious relationship with the natural world. Not too long ago, the most commonly used term for a naturist resort was “naturist camp” (or nudist camp). Today, as the options for naturists are wider than ever, naturist camping has not lost its popularity. You can find naturist campsites in Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, in … Read more

Clothing-Optional: What does it mean?

Clothing-Optional: What does it mean?

We visited several clothing-optional resorts lately and were kinda surprised of how many questions we received about this concept. Especially on our Instagram Stories, because that’s where you can follow our travels live (in case you didn’t know this yet). Most people know naturism and/or nudism as these terms have existed for over a century. Clothing-Optional is rather new, from what we read, it only started being used in the eighties or nineties.     … Read more

Bay of Plenty Sun Camp in New Zealand

Review: Bay of Plenty Sun Camp in New Zealand

It’s fair to say that naturism in New Zealand has surprised us. Not just the possibilities, the abundance of unofficial nude beaches and the more than 20 naturist clubs spread around the country. But also the variation in what’s on offer. Some clubs are located in suburbia while others are in the middle of nature. Some are on quite large domains, while others are cosy with just some handsful of campsites. Like the Bay of … Read more

Naturism in Australia

Lessons from going naked Down Under

What is naturism?   It’s one of the questions that popped into our heads when we were watching the sunset one night. We were all alone on an island at the coast of Australia. No phones or computers to distract us. We had snorkelled, sunbathed, and just devoured our one-pan dinner made on our one-pan camping stove. Even though we weren’t at a naturist place, we were naked anyway. There was nobody who could stop … Read more

Where to go naked for the first time

Where to go Naked for the First Time

Just as we were thinking about a possible topic for this blog post, an email came in. After a short introduction about who she was, where she was from, and what tickled her interest in social nudity, came the question: “Where do I start?”.   It seems so easy, and if she had asked us several years ago, we would have replied: “Try to find a naturist club or resort in your area, if these … Read more

The Naturist Talks: Michael from Myanmar

As you may have read in the very first post of this blog, one of the main reasons why we started this project is to show the world that naturists are not some strange dark commune but that actually everyone could be one… Or could enjoy being one if they took the first step.   Our main example of “everyone” is of course ourselves, we write posts about naturism in general but also about our own … Read more

The do’s and don’ts on a nude beach

We nudists care a lot about our freedom. It’s not that we’re anarchists (well, some of us might be), but we like to step away from the rules and measures that government and society try to impose on us. Instead of comparing our cars, clothes and jewellery with each other, we prefer to leave all that behind and get to know others in their most pure form. That’s why we bare it all. We decide … Read more
